1.) Find the factors that account for the respective angles of incidence of circumsolar radiation on the tilted and horizontal surfaces. The circumsolar radiation is considered to be from a point source.

 

 

2.) Compute the sky clearness as a function of the diffuse irradiance, direct normal irradiance, and zenith angle:

3.) Find the brightness coefficients F₁ and F₂ from the lookup table in Figure 8 and the following equations:
